THE PRESIDENT'S AIIRRIA( F.
President Cleveland and Miss
Frances Folsom, of Buffalo, N. Y.,.
will be married by Rev. Dr. Sunder
land, ex-Chaplain of the United
States Senate, and a minister of thei
Presbyterian Church, in the lue .
Parlor of the Executive Mansion, on
Wednesday, (to-day) June 'nd. at
7 o'clock p. m. They are to be mar
ried on the same sp)ot where 3Iiss
Nellie Grant and Mr. Sartoris stool.
The time of the marriage was given
out by Col. Lamont, President Cleve
land's Private Secretary, on the re
turn of Miss Folsom from Europe on
the 27th uIt. This is the second
President who has married during
his term of ofbee. President Tyler
being the first; and the ninth mar- y
riage which has taken place at the
White House. Miss Folsom is just
22 years of age, weij educated, ex- I
ceedingly pretty and popular, the
daughter of President Cleveland's
old law partner, and the possessor of
a nice little fortune left her by her i
uncle, who died quite recently, and
withal a true type of an American
woman. We tender the President
our congratulations, wishing him all
the joy that position, success and a T
loving wife can bring to a home.
THE LES%ON TAU( HT.
It is indeed an ill wind that blows j
no one good. The recent floods have.
A least should have done South
Carolina and especially this section, t
much good, in that .t has shown us
the necessity of having our corn cribs i
and smoke houses at home and not
in the North and West.
Of course it would be impossible&
to state exactly, but we will venture
to say that there is a very small ma
jority of farmers in this county, or in
South Carolina, yes, even in the TF
whole South, who could stand being :,
cut off from their pap and sugar la:
teats in the North and West. South II
11
Carolina has taken the lead in in-e
dependence of action, why cant she
do it again ?
We do not favor turning over the
gov-ernment of the State altogether ~
to the lawyers, farmers or any otherr
one class of her citizens, but we do 2(i
think that it' the farmers would not
loose so much of their valuable time
in talking politics, attending politi
cal conventions, or so-c alled farm
ers' conventions, and spend their
time in improving their farms, andN
what leisure time they may find, in de
reading up and posting themselves '.
on the current events of the day. i
so that when the time for election ui
arrives they will know exactly what
-4hey want and whom to elect to car- in
ry out what they want, we feel p)retty (,
safe in saying that they will find a i;
big improvement in the course of the
next twelve months. I.a
It is natural to suppose that as the "i
lawyers make the law their business. a
they will know better how to enact "I
to)
laws than any other class; but of i&
course it would not do to give them 1I
entire control, as any one class be it
composedi of the most honest mn,
will work to their own interest, but
still we do not think that the farm- er
ers need be afraid of not getting their
rights, as it is acknowledged, the x.
world over, that the farmer-the matn
-so produces from mother earth is c
the most important factor in the
world's history; and it is foly to
think that any class wouli work~ to
their disadvantage-they could not II
afford it.
As we said above, we hope th~e r--.
cent freshets have proved to the a
farmers that they have not got time !
to invest in politics, which, if they o
would only investi gate they would
find often -proves a very shaky in- I
vestment even to the sharpest and.
most skillful politician.
We have as fine a country in Souith"
Carolina as is to be found on the face
of the earth, and all we wvant to I
make it the richest and most pro
perous is to raise our corn and wheat I-.
and cattle at home, raise less cotton 0
at 8 cents a pound. and waste less :.
time talking politics and attending .1

Ti v Chronicle prints this as a matter
of itferti:ilomi to the public at this
.1 ii n:eriwe Murder".
Intelligence was received here on1
Saturday of a shocking murder v' hich
had been connaitted att D awkins, on
the Sp)artantburg and Union Railroad
on lTu-sday last,. the victim being a
white man. Mr. Eli Free, and his
murderer being a colored man named
Jamies .Johniston. From a gentleman
who wa.s preseut at the inquest, we
gathered thte following facts: On
Th ursd ay evening Mr. Free camne
fromn Newberry Coiuty over to the
Fairfield side, anud stopped at D)aw
kiiis and commenced a conversation
with somet( gentlemen who were stand
tng ini Irout of one of the stores.
While standing there, .Jim .Johnston,
who lives about two hundred yards
from the store, left his house and
camne directly up to where Mr. Free
was stan'ding. WhI1en just in fronitof
him he' said. "What is that to you?"
and with the question lunged his
knife into the heart of M1r. Free.
P ulba g it out hie was abotit to plunge
it at second1 lmc into the throat when
somei oneC presenit stop)ped him, and
lie thena sai. "I will get a stick."
Altu:t.t inst antly after the blow in the
breast Mir. Free staggered a few steps
and fel de:ad wtithlout speaking. See
ing what he hadl done Johnston broke
and r'un for' about two hundred yards,
when some one called to him to halt.
whtereupon) abe stotpped and commenc
ed to cry. llis wife then came up near
him and he again b)rok~e off in a run
and has not been seen since. There
were, we are informned, a half dozen
men p)resent who witnessed the whole
atfair. anti all agree in the statement
that Mr. F"ree had said nothing, and
that as a matter of fact thev doubt
whether Mr. Free knew who killed
him. Mr. F"ree was considerably
under the influence of liquor, but had
had no words with JTohnston. and had
not seen him int. month. When
Johnston came up lie was talking to
the men who were present, and never
hand an opportunity of talking to him.
It will beC remembered~ that 3Mr. Free
and the same ntegro had a difliculty
last December. in which the negro
was shzot twice with a shot gun. Mr.
Ftr gav himnself up to the Sheriff

TE CIERS' DEFARTMENT. C:
AnTHIf i IIhI-, f: F iTi1:. ri
t
I (annot.
A good teacher will never take, ti
when ihearing a recitation. "I cannot"
from a pupil he k:iows, or has good
reason to believe has studied his les
son. Why tioes the pupil answer --I e
don't know" when asked a question?
Probably the first and greatest reason
is his natural timidity. Even the
pertest, the most forward child is
naturally timid. iIe dreads to be
laughed at. The most terrible wea
pon, worse than the Russian knout t
is lauIhter. Many a man would
rather face a battery than a laugl, t
and it is more terrible to a child than
a man. The teacher that will laugh
at a child for a mistake is a brute;
one that will allow a class to do it is
devoid of all sense of propriety, cour
tesv and h umanity. Another reason
why the pupil will say -I don't know" t
is, the idea is not perfectly clear in
his own mind. iIe has . kind of
dreamy knowledge, an idea that the
answer should be so and so, but is
not really sure. and cannot put into
s
words the idea lie has. Ti'he answer
is to him about like a tree secn in
the early Inoruin g; the outline is t
there, but no limbs or branches can
be seen. Ile needs more light. Ai
other reason is. too much --bookish
ness." iIe dare not trust his own
words, and he cannot think of' the
language used in the book. ()h, if
lie could only get hold of that hle
could satisfy the teacher so easily.
How shall we overcome this inclina- i:
tion on the part of the pupil to say t
'-I don't know? How shall we rem- v
edy this evil, for it is an evil? t
First, let the pupil know that you v
believe in his ability to learn the b
lesson, and to answer your question. f
I said know. not think, nor imagine v
you believe it. If the pupil has faith s
in the idea that von believe in his i
ability it will inspire him to risk the
laugh, and do much toward enabling
fV
him to clear up his dreamy, morning
light view of the subject.
C
Say to a boy that is trying to wheel
a heavy load on a wheel-barrow :
That's nothing. my boy. you can
wheel that easy enough," and lie
knows you titter a falsehood; he loses c
faith in you and all you can say. On
the other hand. if you had said : f
"That's a pretty heavy load, my boy. (
shall I help you? iIe will look up r
in his inspired strength, and reply :t
"No. sir, I thank you, I can wheel it."
He'll catch hold of the handles, and i
stagger along, although it taxes his t
strength to the uttermost. .IIe knows t~
you have told the truth, and, con
sequently, believes you sympathizeb
with hun in his struggle, and arep
ready' to help if needi be. IIe has in- (
creased faith in you, and in his own
strength; and tr'ying~ to do the work,
does it.
Another way to remedy the evil is, t
vary your method of presenting the
subject. the questi n you have asked.
the point upoii wiiich you have ques- j
tioned him. Go back a little and ask
questions leading up to the lpoint you I
irst asked about. The sun will have
come a little nearer the horizon, anid
the increased light will have ,nadev
objects more distinct in outlines anrd C
llings. Some teachers, in hope of
In
making the matter p)lainer, wil rep)eat
the explanation. D)on't do it. T ry
some other explaniation. some illus- 1
tration, anyvthinug rather than repeat
ing. If your first one had been sufli
:iently clear, adapted to his compre
iension. lie would need no more, .he ni
would have understoon the subject
and answered readily. TLhe repeti
tion of the exp)lanationi will not makeI
it any cl?arer; lie n1eeds and musxt
have something different. Seldom.
if ever, tell the correct answer. There
is no training, no mental growth in
telling.

Wr\iting descriptions of objects i
ne of the best means of teachin~
hildren something about comnposi-1
tio. They are generally slow at
learning to compose. and not only
children, but very few men ever be
ome very eflicient or ready writers.
In order to make progress in this di
rection it is necessary that it be be
gun at an early age. A child should
ommence forming sentences as soon
s le can make the letters. For a
upil, a young one, to come to the
teacher and recite his reading or spell
ing lesson is not suficient. A con
tined rep)etition of this from time to
time, and from day to day. causes,
s a consequence. a distaste for
books. It is necessary to break the
monotony of the pupils work, or his
progress will not be rapid or satisfac
tory. Most children delight to use a
slate and p)encil, and in this they
should be encourag~ed. A fter they:
have rcitedl their lessons, if they
have a slate and pencil, it would he
well for the teacher to giv'e thiem some
object to write a description of.
'heir first attempts may be. and will
be very poor, but p)rogress will be
ade from day to day. Of course
they must have help from the teacher
continually, and will be of consider
able annoyance, but this must be ii
on. The ittle oae very often

My beautiful line of Spring and Sum
mer Clothing is being placed on the
counters for the inspection of customers
who desire to inspeCt this new and splen
did sto'ek. The most fashionable gar-1
ment for Spring will be the One Button
Cutaway, it is a perfect fitting garment,
and lays closely to the figure, showing
the form. I have these suits made in
the celebrated patent square shoulder
and for get up and trimming, will corn
pare with any custom garment. The
goods these suits are made from are im
ported whip-cord, cork-screws, and the
inest cheviots of the latest patterns and
colors. In sack suits you will find the
same grade of goods, and the sacks are
cut square and cutaway. I would men-*
tion here that. for sack suits the cheviots
will take the lead this Spring, and the
finish of these sacks with the swell.
and saddle seams make them very at
tractive, in fact they mrust be seen to be
appreciated.
My stock of Stiff Hats for Spring has
neyer been surpassed in this city. They
are very light in weight in order to be
comfortable for hot weather. The shapes
are entirely different from anything I
have ever had in stock, and you cannot
help being pleased with them. You can
have them in colors of black, brown,
granite mixtures and pearl. Ask forI
my 83.50 pearl eassimere beaver which
is sold everywhere for 85.00. Call early
and examine this fashionable stock at
